Closer Watch
Mets: Frank Francisco struggled again Sunday night, allowing an earned run on a hit and two walks without securing an out. Still, Francisco seems to have a firm grasp on the closers role for the Mets and does not appear to be in danger of losing his job.

Recommended PickupAndy Dirks, OF, DET - Prior to missing all of July with an achilles injury, Dirks had been hitting .333/.387/.514 and appeared to have earned a starting job. Dirks was re-instated from the DL at the beginning of August and picked up right where he left off. Since being activated, he has a robust .367/.412/.467 batting line. The 26-year-old Dirks, a 2008 eighth round draftee, appears to have secured a starting spot in the Tigers lineup for most games. Though he always hit well in the minors, he never showed this kind of hitting prowess. He may not hit many home runs or steal many bases, but he should be owned in many leagues for his average and run scoring abilities alone.

As a reminder, the competition will be an MLB Salary Cap league where values for each player are set based on projected fantasy value each day and your mission is to find the bargains and make the best 14 player team possible within the $100,000 budget.
